A Whiter Shade of Eskie

Tuesday, October 16, 2012

Boy oh boy have we had our share of bad weather lately but I'm happy to report all is well.This is how I spent lots of this past weekend....yep....that's a high fashion Thundershirt I'm wearing. Snicker if you dare.....it keeps me calm. I give the Thundershirt 4 paws up!I have to say that I'm sorry I have been a lazy blogger lately but let me catch you up to speed on all the latest news:

My feline brother Gromit was diagnosed as diabetic....Mommy & Daddy have to give him scary injections!!!! I run just in case they ever think I might need those pointy things too!!! He's feeling better but I'm just waiting for the day he no longer pushes me away from MY WATER BOWL!!

Dad has to have hip replacement surgery and although I don't really know what that means...I'm hopeful that translates to more walkies for me!

Mommy now volunteers with the Chicagoland Eskie Rescue and while it's cool to sniff her when she comes home from wherever she goes as she smells like other eskies....I'm nervous she will come home with one. C'mon now....there can be only one!!!

Our household was very saddened to hear of the passing of our fave blogger Casper D Eskie. His adventures are legendary and to say he will be and is missed, is such an understatement.

Mommy and Daddy took a couple brief trips this year....in May, they went to Mwke as Mom adores this RickSpringfield person and Daddy likes the casino....oh and Mommy was much more excited when they ran into this Rick person and his wife in the elevator! Also, they went cruising Route 66 and I didn't even get a crummy t shirt.....hmmmm...I didn't think I've been behaving badly. I'll have to have a chat with mgmt!

Me, hey it's the usual....avoiding the neighbor kids, adults and poochies while growling and barking wildly at them all. Business and usual indeed. I'll put in a word with Mommy to let me have computer time!

DOG BED: any soft, clean surface, such as the whitebedspread in the guest room or the newly upholsteredcouch in the living room.

GARBAGE CAN: A container which your neighbors put outonce a week to test your ingenuity. You must stand on yourhind legs and try to push the lid off with your nose. If youdo it right you are rewarded with margarine wrappers toshred, beef bones to consume and moldy crusts of bread.

BICYCLES: Two-wheeled exercise machines, invented fordogs to control body fat. To get maximum aerobic benefit,you must hide behind a bush and dash out, bark loudly andrun alongside for a few yards; the person then swerves andfalls into the bushes, and you prance away.

DEAFNESS: This is a malady which affects dogs when theirperson want them in and they want to stay out. Symptomsinclude staring blankly at the person, then running in theopposite direction, or lying down.

THUNDER: This is a signal that the world is coming to anend. Humans remain amazingly calm during thunderstorms,so it is necessary to warn them of the danger by tremblinguncontrollably, panting, rolling your eyes wildly, andfollowing at their heels.

SOFAS: Are to dogs like napkins are to people. After eatingit is polite to run up and down the front of the sofa andwipe your whiskers clean.

BUMP: The best way to get your human's attention whenthey are drinking a fresh cup of coffee or tea.

LOVE: Is a feeling of intense affection, given freely and without restriction. The best way you can show your loveis to wag your tail. If you're lucky, a human will love youin return.
